Senior Survey
Each year Spelman surveys the senior class as they graduate. The survey focuses primarily on your undergraduate experience and on your future plans.
Our goals are to learn what you think about your education at Spelman, to evaluate current programs, and to gather information to help Spelman improve the quality of education. It is important that we hear from everyone. Future generations of Spelman students will benefit from your reflections.
